Abstract
Over a remarkable and productive career spanning over 50 years, James Robinson's name has been associated above all with two major academic projects: the publication of the texts from Nag Hammadi and the International Q Project (IQP), seeking to establish the text of the Sayings Source (or ‘Gospel’) Q. It is the latter which provides the focus of the present volume which collects 39 of Robinson's essays or articles published over a period of more than 40 years. In an introductory essay, Robinson traces aspects of what he calls his ‘theological autobiography’, from his doctoral work under Karl Barth, through the trials and tribulations of seeking to make the Nag Hammadi texts available to the broader academic (and non-academic) community, and finally on to his work in the IQP, with which he has been involved since 1985. However, his interests in Q clearly predate 1985, and the essays here go back as far as his famous (now classic) essay on ‘Logoi Sophon: On the Gattung of Q’, originally written for the Bultmann Festschrift in 1964, a programmatic essay which is still much cited and remains extremely influential today. Also from 1964 is his essay (originally for the Haenchen Festschrift) on the Hodayoth Formula in Early Christianity, now available for the first time in English.
